”The guarantee structure is an essential component when accessing any type of financing, and the guarantees it provides, on behalf and in the name of the Romanian state, represent a secure and efficient resource that companies can easily access through commercial banks. In this context, the decision of Garanti BBVA to leverage the facilities provided by Exim Banca Românească is all the more important, as it supports the sustainable development of a significant local business. We also encourage other commercial banks to follow this model, for the clear benefit of Romanian companies”, stated Traian Halalai, Executive President, Exim Banca Românească.
